When Ed Husic used the Koran on being sworn into Prime Minister Rudd's new ministry, he received some hostile Facebook posts. Extreme Facebook comments are not good.

Best for keen Christians to try to convince Muslims that there is a better religion by:

(i) living lives that are true examples of the way of Jesus Christ, and

(ii) explaining the content of the Faith to any who are ready to listen.

P.S. Many politicians joining the Rudd ministry used no holy book. No Bible. No Koran. No nothing.

Does that mean that they believe in nothing?
